She closed the suitcase that is filled with her clothes and other personal belongings. She's almost done packing up her things for their trip. She still hasn't put her charger, her power bank, her awesome camera, her headphone and her phone because she's busy playing Mario Death Race on Memetendo Switch at the same time she is listening to music with her airpods. "MALLORY!!!" said her mother who is getting agitated from waiting, the fact that Mallory knows that her mother is calling her. She ignored her, not wanting to lose the game.
"Argh piece of shit" her mother muttered as she went up the stairs and barged into her daughter's room, "MALLORY CAERELEUS" then her daughter jumped and cheered "HELL YES I WON-" she gots cut off by her mother by pinching her, right at the ear and she removed her airpods. "Listen you little shit me and your dad are waiting downstairs..." she lets go of the child's ear. Mallory quickly fixes her stuff up and stacked the items in her blue bag. "Hurry up! hurry up! We don't have much time, We are going to be late because of you!" her mother added. They went out of the house and her mother locked the entrance to secure the house and Mallory places her suitcase in the trunk of the car then shuts it. Her father is impatiently tapping his fingers on the steering wheel. The mother and the daughter went inside the car afterwards the couple fasten their seat belts but their daughter did not fasten her seat belt since she's so into the music that her head is nodding to the beat. "so is the house in total lock down?" the husband asked "Yeah, no thief will get in there" his wife answered as she lights up a cigarette and puffs a smoke out to the window. This caused the child to cover her nose with cloth.
In the middle of the ride, Mallory is looking for her camera. "No no no no" she keeps repeating the word 'no'. Her mother woke up because of the ruckus from the back. "Mallory can you keep it down? You're disturbing my sleep and your dad's driving" her mother spat with bitterness. "AUGH!" Mallory groaned "I forgot my camera!" she shouted her reason. Her mother looked at her. "How dare you shout at me" The child was frightened by seeing her mother's eyes and actions. "You little twat come here, I'll give you a piece of my hand with a combo of messing your hair." her mother reached for her, emotions aren't controlled and her mental stability isn't stable. "Mom stop it! I had enough of you abusing me! Stop it!" Mallory started to cry but her mother is so desperate to hurt the child.
"J-Janice cut it out, the both of you stop!" the husband is so pissed off but the mother wasn't listening "Janice will you fucking stop? If you continue we are going to crash" the father gets slapped by her wife and she says "I don't fucking care I just want to see her in pain" her mom is getting insane. "What the fuck is that slap for?" the husband exclaimed. "That's what you get for not obeying me, Mack" the parents start to argue and the child is trying not to cry a lot. The father wasn't looking at the road anymore. Then everything became silent "BEEP BEEP" a truck going towards them. The horns are echoing and the breaks of the car gone wrong. "Shit!" the father mumbled in fear. With a swift moment, two vehicles had their collision. The impact is so strong that Mallory flew, ending up bumping her head and her vision gone black.
Mallory wakes up finding herself still in the car but it's upside down. "Mom? Dad?" She called for her parents. There is no response. She looked at them she saw them hanging due to the seat belts. Blood and shattered glass are all over the place. She shakes her parent's shoulders "Mom, Dad wake up!" she checks the pulse just to found nothing. She repeats the words 'no' denying the truth that her parents are dead. Her tears started to roll down her cheeks and she rapidly gets out of the car. She scanned her surroundings. She noticed that no one's around. She dashed to the truck to see if the driver is alive but she found a dead body instead. Her legs are weaken as she falls to the ground. Despair almost taking her over, she screams "Somebody HELP!!!" her cries are getting louder. She breathes and calms herself as she stands up and run towards their car to find her blue bag and get her phone. Once she found it, she dialed the numbers but there's no signal, the same with her parent's and the driver of the truck's phone. She threw the driver's phone unto the floor afterwards she grabbed a fistful of her hair. Her whole body is shaking, her mind making her insane because she doesn't know what to do. All that a 14 year old girl, Mallory, can do now is stare at the mess. She looks around expecting to find something. She is surrounded by trees, it's a forest.
Being in a state of despair she finds relief when she spots a sign. "Drawn Village" she reads it aloud. "Follow the yellow path and you'll get there..." she pauses "Be Prepared..." the phrase 'be prepared' got her thinking "What does that mean? I'm sure nothing's going to happen" she gulps "I-it's only a village, I need to get going and be fast to find help" being optimistic, she dashes off and follows the yellow path. Into the deep forest she goes.
